  Hi there,

  Your site at http://christine-writes.com/ is not hosted here on WordPress.com, and the Jetpack plugin on your site, while it has security features that protect you against unauthorised login attempts, does not send any emails if such an attempt occurs.

  However, I see you’re using the Limit Login Attempts plugin on your site. According to it’s description at https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-attempts-booster/ that plugin does send you emails if there are failed login attempts on your site.

  You can find that plugin’s support forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/limit-attempts-booster if you have any questions about this email.
